WIRELESS LAUNDRY CENTER INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

• Configure laundry machines in BbTS and download configurations to the Reader.

See: the BbTS Reference Manual (Unix), or the BbTS System Administration Guide (UE).

• Configure the LE3/BRIDGE (page 1-23)

• Install the LE3/BRIDGE (page 1-24)

• Configure the LWI Module (page 1-25)

Each laundry machine is assigned a number between 1 and 60. The LC3000 displays this number for

customer machine selection and sends the pulse command to the corresponding LWI. Configuring the

LWI creates the relationship between the machine number and LWI.

• Install the LWI Module (page 1-26)

The LC3000 Laundry Reader supports 60 wireless laundry machine connections. Laundry machines

communicate with the wireless laundry network using Laundry Wireless Interfaces. The Laundry Wireless

Interface (LWI) is a wiring harness and wireless module. The LWI communicates with the Laundry Reader

via a Wireless Bridge(s) (LE3/BRIDGE). The Bridge and LWI communicate over an RF radio link.
